Confused
I’m at a point in my life where I am in the middle of accepting and making peace with the reality that there are certain things in my life that I might not be able to do anymore, or still try to see if I can still catch on my groove. Career-wise, I wanted to do travel nursing but I am married and wouldn’t want to risk the job stability I have at my current workplace and on top of that, we are trying to get pregnant this year. Family-wise, in my head, there are a bunch of things that I am planning (such as travelling, finding a new hobby, etc.) but then again, we are trying to get pregnant this year. Don’t get me wrong, me and my husband have been married for 3 years now and since the time we got married, I have always been the one that’s eager to start popping kids but now, I feel like this is the only time that me and my husband started feeling like we’re settling (me and my husband are both immigrants, he has been to this country for 6 years, meanwhile, it’s my 5th year now). Also, self-doubt sometimes kicks in and makes me wonder if I’m really ready to be pregnant. It just feels overwhelming because there’s a lot of things I feel like I have not done yet and in my mind, it’s as though I should be able to tick off at least half of my list before we start a family. I guess I’m just scared that one day, someday I will regret some things because I wasn’t able to fully accept my reality and make peace with it.
